Opportunity exists for a family, builder/renovator or first home buyer to enter the market at an affordable price. The property is located on the edge of Dynnyrne and Sandy Bay. Fitzroy Gardens with its historic trees and acres of rolling lawns and recreational space is right on your door step. The park allows dogs off lead at designated times daily and has elevated views of the River Derwent and surrounding districts.
First time sold since it was originally built in 1920, this original timber cottage has been brick boarded, probably post war. Most of the original architectural features remain with floorboards throughout, 4 panel doors, bay window, open fire places (one with electric heating installed), high ceilings, picture rails, architraves and timber fretwork in the hallway. The house would benefit from the addition of a combined kitchen/family room or you may decide to live in it as is and renovate in the future! The land is level and good access is offered for a renovation.
The configuration of the house is currently 5 large rooms, tiny galley kitchen which adjoins one of the large rooms, closed in verandah or sunroom (used as a laundry) which runs across the back of the house, and 1 bathroom. An old rustic laundry and outhouse in run down condition are located in the back garden. Some old plants and shrubs remain and the view of Fitzroy Gardens from the back of the house and garden is a delight all those lawns mown, plants pruned and 100 year old trees maintained by someone else! The property currently has a car port and off street parking for 3 cars.
Raw Providore and the Sandy Bay shopping precinct are close by, as are schools, parks, beaches, transport and all amenities. Only 5 minutes to the CBD, University and Salamanca Place. The property would also make an excellent investment opportunity with minimal upgrading. A great opportunity to add value to this lovely old home in a prestige location amongst other beautifully renovated properties capital gain is assured.
